Winter 2016

Terry Sturtevant What’s the point of these labs?

What is the purpose of the labs?Where do I get the lab information?

What about laptops in the lab?

Why are we here?What’s different this term?Learning ObjectivesWhat happens each week?What is the most important lab requirement?How do I survive the lab report?

Why are we here?

PC131 labs introduced the research process;

PC132 labs will expand on that.

As in PC131, this process is not specific to this course;

it isn’t even specific to physics

What’s different this term?

Using graphs in labs -

linearizing equations to produce straight line graphs

graphing and least squares fitting with a spreadsheet

including determining uncertainties from graphs

plotting curves with a spreadsheet

As in PC131, the finished report will illustrate the entireresearch process and how it leads to answering the researchquestion(s).

The specific experiment isn’t that important; its value is toillustrate the process.

Learning Objectives

There are 3 types of learning objectives:

1 Conceptual

understanding certain ideas

2 Practical

applying knowledge to specific “real-world” tasks

3 Communication

presenting information and results in formats which are typicalin professional settings

Different types of learning objectives often lead to differenttypes of assessments.

Conceptual Learning Objectives

Important ideas to grasp include:

1 Identifying linear relationships between variables in anequation

2 Recognizing the significance of whether the scatter of pointson a graph is large or small

3 Suggesting improvements to an experiment, based ongraphical analysis

What happens each week? (before the lab)

Before the lab

Read “Theory” section of lab manual

OR

Read alternative document

OR

Watch screencast (video) of alternative document

Do quiz on MyLearningSpace to show that you’ve understoodtheory

Pre-lab tasks -

things which have to be done before the lab

These ensure that you are prepared for the lab.
